Sigh... when I was talking about getting rid of that function, I meant that we need to also decouple UltraDMA from PIO -- which is what this patch misses...

Addressed in the follow-up patch.

   That's good, thanks. :-)

Actually, I intended to decouple DMA form PIO in this drivers completely but that would be a next step...

DMA and PIO timings are shared on these controllers (except when DTE bit is
set, then PIO0 timings are always used and DMA timings are independent)...?

Yeah, but one do not need to toggle IORDY/prefetch enables for DMA modes -- actually, this is a buglet -- despite what Intel's manuals say...
